Next Earnings Date: November 10, 2008 Earnings are probably the most closely followed aspect of a firm's income statement as an indicator of profitability. Also referred to as the net income for a specified period of time, earnings are equal to a company's after-tax income on the income statement. The net income is calculated by taking revenues and adjusting for depreciation, interest, taxes and expenses incurred through business operations. Annual Earnings and Estimates

IF A COMPANY MOVES BACK EARNINGS RELEASE IS THAT A GOOD SIGN OR A BAD SIGHN??

THAT DAM HARTLIEB PISSED OFF MEL..LOL..

WAR/\ STEELERS POUNDING THE SKINS. VOTING IN UNDER 1 HR. AND MEL WITH SIRIUS XM GIVING US SOME GOOD NEWS

In most instances, moving earnings up is a bad thing. Moving them back more than likely isn't a good thing either. This leads me to believe that they are possibly having difficulties ironing out numbers.

This however is understandable since it will be the first full quarter with both companies under the same umbrella.

Keeping it factual, Sirius has not announced an earnings date yet. If they have announced a date, and then move it -- then I'd agree with you. However there has been no official announcement of a date. It's kind of hard to move a date that hasn't been announced.

Any speculation of an earnings date before the official announcement is just that, speculation.

My Brokarage firm has released this date.. but like you say nothing offical.. so Im still hoping and wishing for good info soon..or..

I hear you Apex, but just note -- other than the last earnings release for XM (at the closing of the merger), both Sirius and XM have always put out a press release of when they would be releasing their earnings. And over the years of watching these equities, my brokerage (and several other sites) have always put out dates ahead of time -- but those dates were just speculation based on when their analysts believe it will happen... but that doesn't make it accurate. Until I see an official PR announcing the date, anything posted on any site is just speculation.

And FWIW, I too have heard that 11/10 would be the date. But that is just mindless speculation from me.

I agree with Homer985. If you get a quote from your online brokerage and click on earnings, you will get the announcement and explanation of how important earnings are. These are estimated dates and general definitions of the importance of earnings to a company. If you go to Sirius' site and sign up for email notifications of "Press Releases", this has been the best and most reliable way to get scheduled earnings release dates in the past. You will also get notices of SEC filings if so desired.
